In a speech Monday to ambassadors from some 185 nations, the Pope
said that it is important to follow the various peace initiatives for
the interest of Syria in a constructive atmosphere of increased
confidence between the parties.

He stressed the need to protect all Syrians, including Christians who have been contributing for centuries in Syria’s history.

He also reaffirmed the need to respect the status of al-Quds
(Jerusalem) and refrain from any initiative that exacerbates
hostilities.
